Hmm

It has just occurred to me that having an ibis in the bathroom might be considered unusual.

It's in the spare bathroom. Which, incidentally, barely has room for one person to do more than sit.

Leave a sudoku book and a pencil on the floor, let's see what happens.

I liked thinking of your previous post, in terms of American English: There's an ibis in your toilet? Yes . . . they're wading birds.

That's legal in Australia?

Only if you have a licence.

*Pictures the cops rolling up next to the house (on motorcycles of course) yelling at it to pull over*

*walks up to the door*

*Sir, can I see your Ibis license and proof of insurance?*

I bought a new license from the man in the Ibis detecting van.

The one from the Ministry of Ousinge, of course! XD

you need a license to do Soduku
How much does that cost

Just remember: when you gaze into the ibis...

I hate you.

It's only illegal if the ibis points and laughs--- };-)

(And painful if it stretches out its neck...and pecks!)

talk about pecking Ibis

...did U hear the swearing Chef Gordon Ramsay got bitten on the nose by an Icelandic PUFFIN...and then thrown off a cliff in Iceland, 80 or so mtrs below into a raging torrent.
-true to style, Ramsay resurfaced with so much as a scratch (can't say WIHTOUT somuchas . . . he did get injured a bit),
so there's another bird creating a stirrrrrr.

*grins
I once had a koala in mine ! Uninvited he came,
and hang-on to the door he did too, when
we tried to remove him and stick
him up his tree again.

...open windows... :-}

I've had a hedgehog in mine...[late autumn and the poor thing weighed under 600g, which is the minimum safe hibernation body mass.]

I think an Ibis wins though...

It is? It wasn't in Cairns. I would be happier if they were in the bathroom because that would mean if they shit on the floor, I could just hose it down...

Usually a whole flock of them would walk across my yard every morning and fill it with turds.... Walking out there was like dodging landmines.

well, perhaps unusual in that most people don't keep birds in their bathrooms, but it seems like a reasonable place to put an ibis if you're going to put one in your house, really. I mean, the parlor just wouldn't do. And have you ever heard one try to play a piano? It's terrible, I assure you.

Also, hurrah to ibis rescuing, to which I assume that's related.

White, glossy, or straw necked?

[identity profile] dewhitton.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Straw necked. With concussion.

[identity profile] thoughtsdriftby.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
there you go, straw necked always did have more trouble with seat

[identity profile] stoda.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... by definition it is not the usual thing, yeah.

Though we had a Great Blue Heron in our shower for several days, once.
